Gami Capital is proud to join the cap table of Rates Exchange as part of its strategic round.
Onchain credit runs on floating rates. Borrowers, stablecoin issuers and curators have no reliable way to lock their cost of capital, which makes interest rate risk the largest unhedged exposure in the market.
Rates Exchange is building the institutional rates venue to trade and hedge financial risk across interest rates, compute, equities, and FX: a hedging layer for end users, and a central limit order book for price discovery.
Onchain fixed income won't scale without a rates market. Welcome to the portfolio, @Rates_Exchange_ @nicoypei
Rates Exchange welcomes Gami Capital as a strategic investor!
Gami Capital, based in Switzerland, is an ARIF-registered investment and advisory arm, deploys capital across early-stage infrastructure, DeFi protocols, institutional products and RWA tokenisation, and advises projects and asset managers on structuring.
Together, we're bringing hedging on-chain.

In most prize systems, one company owns every prize and keeps the edge.
On Looty, anyone can be the house. We built the loop that rewards everyone 🔁
At its core, Looty V2 is a perpetual prize pool:
Every prize is an asset pledged by its owner. Pledges wait in a queue, then go live in the main pool.
Players only draw from what’s live and each pull lands on a dollar value the pool pays out.
When an asset is won, its owner is paid on the spot and new pledges go live from the queue.
Only assets worth pulling for make it into the pool.

Most gachas offer one kind of prize and are limited by the value of their inventory.
Why not add different prizes to the pool?
Why not allow anyone to be the house?
Why not let other tokenization platforms benefit?
These are the questions we considered while building v2.

What if the house didn’t need to own the prizes?
That’s the idea behind @looty_fi, where anyone can deposit assets into perpetual prize pools, earn yield, and power a new kind of on-chain consumer experience.
We spoke with Shib, one of the people building it, about the model and the experience behind it.
Meet @shibuyayume , one of the people behind @looty_fi and a Superteam Thailand member.
He entered crypto in 2024 and went on to help build products that generated hundreds of millions of dollars in transaction volume across casino, gaming, and on-chain consumer apps.
Now he’s taking that experience into Looty.
@looty_fi is building the internet’s element-of-chance engine on @solana, where anyone can deposit tokenized assets, RWAs, or stables into perpetual pools, earn yield as the house, and let players pull for prizes backed by verifiable on-chain math.
The traction so far:
→ $38M+ in pledged TVL
→ $600K+ raised in its Round 1 presale
→ Integrations in the works for physical collectible vaulting and fiat onramps
We sat down with Shib to talk about his journey, the thinking behind Looty, and what happens when you rethink how internet-native consumer apps are built.

The bet with gacha is that its a design pattern that will proliferate across all consumer goods categories, and the company that runs this playbook beyond TCGs will be a 10bn+ outcome as the next big ecommerce winner since Shopify

It’s pretty crazy how little content u see about people retiring their parents and providing for their families
And how much content u see about them with Rolexes, business class and hanging with random girls
Don’t forget what ur loved ones did to get you where you are

stXRP’s on-chain rate now flows into Spectra markets and into FXRP Yield Prime.
As a key liquidity provider on these markets, our MetaVault picks up that rate on top of its existing yield sources, passed to participants automatically.
Built to optimize XRP yield exclusively within Spectra, using XRP-pegged assets on Flare. No leverage, no liquidation exposure.
→ app.spectra.finance/metavaul…
A milestone for XRP Finance: stXRP now has a live rate, reflected on Spectra markets @FlareNetworks.
On Spectra, that rate can be fixed, traded and priced in a market built around it. Emissions from @Firelightfi have just started and the rate is building up.
What that means ↓

With Colosseum wrapping up, a Looty reveal is due this week 👀
But before that, here are some of the main updates of our month long @colosseum Hackathon with great support from @SuperteamTH , a thread 🧵:
Nigel (Omni) retweeted
Firelight's early contributor rewards have been credited to the FXRP Yield Prime MetaVault on @FlareNetworks, built on @spectra_finance.
The rewards landed in the vault's holdings as FXRP, so every depositor's position grew in proportion to their share of the vault, with no extra claiming needed. The vault's currently displayed rate moved to around 20%.
That rate reflects the distribution from @Firelightfi and is recalculated with each settlement.
Thank you from the Gami Labs team for your trust and participation.
